Obamanation Domination

Well, the election is over and Obama will be the next president of the United Sates of America.

Whether you are excited about his victory or disappointed that he won we need to remember a few things:

1. TUST-God is in control (cue Twila Paris track...for those of you who know who Twila Paris is...man, I'm old). You may be thinking, "how could this happen". Well, it can happen, and it did. The great thing is that God is neither surprised by this election nor worried about what's going to happen next. He's got it. His plans will be accomplished no matter who is in office. God is the one who appoints kings and rulers and he holds them all in his hands. We do not need to worry or be fearful about what is going to happen next. Just continue to trust God and take this as an opportunity to step up and stand out in this nation as "a thousand points of light" (George Bush #1 refernce...again...old), reflecting the true light of the World, Jesus Christ.

2. PRAY! -Just think how much Obama has on his shoulders for the next 4 (maybe 8) years. Now, do we want him to make those decisions based on a Godly influence or a worldly influence? Pray for Godly wisdom and influence and integrity in decision making that will honor God and his plans. Pray that the best interest of the people of America and the glory of Jesus Christ will be the compass of his decision making. Pray the same thing for the largely Democratic congress. You might consider this an impossibility, but with God ALL things are possible. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the one who changes the old man into the new man. He is the one who takes hard hearts and makes thems soft to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Pray for a great revival among the leaders of this country, no just in policy and laws, but in heart.

Obama says it's time for change, I agree! But not temporal change...ETERNAL change. We have been complacent and comfortable with a president we considered "God's choice" for far too long. It's time to get off our tails and begin working for real change in our families, churches, communities, state, and nation.
